I gave away all of Brads clothes and I have changed the message on the
answering machine.It is now in my voice...but how does a person really
recover? I am still looking for answers after 3 years.This loneliness is
brutual and even when there is a crowd of people in the room I feel so
alone and imcomplete.I feel damned.And I feel like the weight of the world is on my shoulders. I no longer talk about Brad.But I want to.I want to let everyone that I am in a lot of pain.I want everyone to know that the
doubts and pain never go awahy.I want everyone to know that taking
drugs is not the answer and I want to be healed but this pain is so
brutual and I still cry every night and I wish Brad was here to hold me and tell me things are alright?

" Hi Vader, I hear what you are saying and the pain is still there. I am coming up on 5 yrs since I lost my 31 yr old son to drugs. I still can't go to the burial site, still can't put any pictures out, and am also still in pain. It's not as intense but I suffer with the waves of grief a lot. I also lost my mother 8 months ago. I wonder also if I will ever recover, some days are easier and then a trigger brings back the grief. I find comfort in knowing I can come here and everyone understands the path we are on.It is never easy, as we recover in our own time, gently taking care of ourselves. Give Kramer a hug and cry, for the tears are healing. If you ever need to talk please reach out to me, I will be there for you as others in the group. Hugs...Lori "

" thank you for your reply.I have been busy looking for a job and man it is so hard out there.I almost lost Kramer today and he ran away from me when I opened the door.It was almost 80 degrees here and it was so hot in the house.Kramer likes it cool.She also hates the cold and I am in a much better mood.I will always love Brad and he will always be special to me.I still cant go to the grave such as you.but I look at his picture everyday and I cry and wonder what I did wrong in this very troubled relationship.vader meow from Kramer.meow.

" One tries to forge ahead and create a NEW relationship...with someone else!

I can relate to the job and money woes. But keep creating there too, talking yourself up with anyone you happen to meet. "

" I hope you get some help and find some comfort. I don't think you should still be this broken after 3 years. I am not an expert, and have been a widow for a month and if it takes that long to recover, I don't think I can take it. "
